The Food and Drug Administration issued yet another warning about possible contamination in chicken jerky treats for dogs. In a story that brought back grim memories of the 2007 pet food debacle, the latest alert cautioned owners that complaints have been made about three brands of chicken jerky or tenders treats:
• Waggin Train, made by Nestle Purina
• Canyon Creek Ranch, made by Nestle Purina
• Milo’s Kitchen Homestyle Dog Treats, made by Del Monte
To read more about the story, here is a link to a recently posted article on MSNBC:

When I was at the grocery store on Saturday, I spotted the Waggin Train treats on the shelf. Be very careful. Better yet, make your own dog treats as I do. At least then I know what the ingredients are.
